CARSON ROBISON 1930's Radio Broadcasts

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

This is a fantastic LP from 1978 on the Glendale label. It features 1930's radio recordings by Carson Robison and his Pioneers, consisting of Robison and John, Bill and Pearl Mitchell. This is great vaudeville hillbilly, and while it's not the authentic mountain stuff (Carson was Vernon Dalhart's old partner) it is exceedingly entertaining. The songs, playing and vocal arrangements are top notch and much of this material is ripe for revivalists. Because the record plays continuously as one show, I have transfered this as one mp3 rather than chopping it up.

Includes jacket scans.
